Workforce Solutions Jam: A Global Perspective

International Innovation in Workforce Development and Lessons Learned on Scaling

The workforce crisis is not isolated to the United States. Although the challenges and solutions may appear different across the world, there are core consistencies. This means opportunities for gaining fresh and bold ideas to address shortages and expand the U.S. behavioral health workforce.

In the July Workforce Solutions Jam, we’ll be joined by the Global Leadership Exchange to discuss its role in convening international partners and advancing behavioral health. Our panel will explore global trends in the behavioral health workforce and nuances in how countries are addressing challenges. Dive deeper into efforts that include expanding the nontraditional workforce to improve community representation and building programs specifically aimed to improve relationships and align care with local community needs and traditions.

The Workforce Solutions Jam is a monthly webinar to build national momentum and encourage collaboration. It is hosted as a partnership between the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, The College for Behavioral Health Leadership and Health Management Associates.
